Selecting a Frame Relay Discovery Mode

2. Basic Configuration

Selecting a Frame Relay Discovery Mode

When a Frame Relay Discovery Mode is active, the FrameSaver unit “discovers” network DLCIs from the network LMI status response message. It configures a network DLCI and a user data port DLCI, and automatically connects them to create a PVC.

Main Menu→ Auto-Configuration→Frame Relay Discovery Mode

Automatically configured network DLCIs are multiplexed, and each automatically configured port DLCI carries the same DLCI Number as its corresponding network DLCI. These are the same DLCI numbers that would have been available had the FrameSaver unit not been inserted in the link, between your equipment and the network.

NOTE:

A local Management PVC (e.g., the PVC between the router and the

FrameSaver unit’s user data port) must be configured manually.

The following will occur when a Frame Relay Discovery Mode is selected:
